Early copy of Mamdani’s America 250 speech reveals press team’s painfully performative edits
NY Post ^ | Matt Troutman

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s press team accidentally released an advance copy of his speech marking America’s 250th birthday Friday — revealing their painfully performative edits.

The team of high-achieving Gen-Zers quibbled over fine points of American and Big Apple history, such as the minutiae of the revolutionary Battle of Brooklyn or when exactly the first Chinese immigrants arrived in the city.

In a tortured internal debate, the leftist do-gooders also bent over backward to be inclusive, arguing the word “slave” shouldn’t be used and that black people should be mentioned.

The Mayor is a punk as are all his Gen z never had a job minions.

“Given the fuss they tend to make, I wonder if we should mention the Catholics too,” one staffer suggested for a line about Puritans, Sikhs, Quakers, Muslims and Jews escaping religious persecution. Mamdani’s speechwriter Julian Gerson dismissed the concern, scoffing, “meh we can’t get everyone.”

Hearing Mamdani’s speech I swear I thought it had to be fake, or AI generated..NO WAY even that evil piece of sh*t would give a speech like that, basically calling America evil and a horrible place to live..Hey Mamdani, NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO STAY HERE YOU ARE FREE TO LEAVE ANYTIME!! I mean his speech was pretty much a commie wet dream, just non stop trashing America, downright despicable I thought it just had to be fake

We let him in and made him a citizen. There are clearly 'flaws'.

Yes, it is a pleasure to hear something very uplifting—as opposed to the never ending hate that democrats spew every single day.

Unfortunately, it is not on CNN or MSNBC.

It's too bad the old New York mafia aren't around. They would have nipped this rodent in the bud before he even got out of the gate.

A great seat run by a smiling monster. During the 250th Birthday, and the 25th Anniversary of his fellow muslims’ handiwork.

I’m just saying, this country needs a real purge. No details, supply your own.
